Is it just me or are these just now available?

If you look at the top right of Elzy's profile, you can search each recruit by name in the drop down box.


I already forgot how high Rivals is on Elzy. Really interested to see if the staff tries to buy him an extra year if the starters stay healthy or if they just put him in packages for every game.

Re Illini football... who do we have to play center this year? I thought that we were looking in the portal for help?

I know we may have Kreutz penciled in but how big is he??

Where's Dick Butkus when we need him?? Maybes he's got a covid year left !

I'll take the over on number of games. I have a feeling, or maybe just a hope, he has a very surprising year and gives the offense a boost.

So, I had a dream about Illinois Football last night. First time I’ve dreamt of Illinois Football in….well I can’t remember the last time I dreamt of Illinois Football.
Unfortunately it turned into a…weirdmare? Not really a nightmare.
The other team threw 3 TDs and the crowd started chanting for ‘Spoon, then the game was interrupted by a giant frog (my neighbor told me a frog story yesterday).
Then Eddie Van Halen started playing Eruption.

I interpret this as the frog was BB at halftime, followed by an “eruption” comeback in the second half. 🤷🏻‍♂️🧡

I think you meant to say "dominant erupt" in the second half.

Cautiously optimistic for Josh Kreutz.

I suspect he has a massive chip on his shoulder. Motivation is not going to be an issue.

The really good news is that we don't need him to be a stalwart. Am very comfortable that he's got the calls down. If he's not a blocking liability (and I don't think he will be), that's a win.

This is great how the Bielema Family is recognizing the 133rd year of Illini Football.

Keep in kind, Memorial Stadium opened 11/3/1923. Therefore, this year will mark 100 years since it opened. I wonder how this will be recognized by the Athletic Department.

Additionally, the stadium was dedicated 10/18/1924 against Michigan. We do play Michigan at home next year. Would they put this on a Friday night so it is exactly 100 years to the date? More importantly, we need someone to score 6 touchdowns against the Wolverines to really mark the occasion.
